Mitchell Gets Off Canvas For First Defense

March 2, 1906

Charley Mitchell (19-4) picked himself up from a 3rd round knockdown to win a TKO12 over #8 Nick Burley (10-3).

A close bout that see-sawed ended when Mitchell had Burley nearly out on the ropes in the 12th after 2 knockdowns during the round.

Burley put Mitchell down in the 3rd and was ahead on scorecards after 5.

Mitchell then dropped Burley in the 6th, cut Burley under his right eye in the 7th, and caused swelling in his left eye in the 9th.

I had it 104-103 at the time of the stoppage. Ringside expert Mirco Mizera had it 105-102. The official judges all had it 104-103.

On the undercard

HW - Frank Childs (15-10-2) UD10 Ed Dunkhorst (12-11-2)
LHW - Morris Harris (3-6) SD10 Jack Graham (5-1)
HW - Oliver Williams (1-0-1) DRAW Joe Godfrey (2-17-2) (Williams fought as a beginner in this club fight)
LHW - Harry Baker (1-3-2) DRAW Kiernan Wibert (TC) (0-1-1) (Baker fought as a beginner in this club bout)
LHW - JH Brown (6-12) UD10 Duncan McDonald (6-13-1) (club fight)
